Prepare Form 1099-G records in the 1099ERICH Windows software. Import supported Excel or CSV data, review certain government payments and refunds, and create filing output for the free IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal.
Prepare Form 1099-G using our Windows software and upload through the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal, or ask ERICH about managed e-filing. Software purchases and filing services are separate.
For government agencies and payment administrators preparing their own information returns.
For teams and accounting professionals preparing larger batches of Form 1099-G returns.
Ask about a managed Form 1099-G filing. Eligibility, form type, tax year and record volume determine pricing.
Software: Each recipient form generated for an IRIS CSV filing file counts toward your license allowance; IRS portal file limits are separate. See counting examples. Managed filing: The posted $300 flat-fee tiers on our e-filing pricing page apply to eligible 1099-NEC returns; other form types are quoted individually.
For state and local agencies and other government payers. Classify the government payment correctly—an unemployment payment is not the same field as a state income tax refund.
A state agency administers both unemployment compensation and income-tax refunds. Although it issues Form 1099-G for both, the payments belong in different reporting categories.
Form-specific check: Record the payment type and the recipient’s identifiers accurately. Refunds, unemployment benefits, agricultural payments and taxable grants are not interchangeable; review the specific reporting rule for each program.
Before importing: Reconcile each 1099-G payment category to the issuing agency’s own program totals.
Prepare your filing data with the software, then submit an eligible CSV through the free IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal using your own IRIS account. The IRS does not charge a portal filing fee.

Form 1099-G software is designed for government agencies and payment administrators. Instead of manually building every return from scratch, work from agency benefit and refund payment files, review the information that matters for this form, and prepare supported IRS IRIS upload files on your Windows PC.
Collect agency benefit and refund payment files. Reconcile the figures to the account, transaction or payer systems that produced them before beginning the filing process.
Pay particular attention to unemployment, refund and taxable grant classifications. Other fields may be required depending on the tax year and the specific transactions being reported.
Use supported Excel or CSV imports, inspect recipient information, and address reported validation issues before generating final files. Your working records stay local during software preparation.
Create the IRS IRIS Taxpayer Portal CSV output supported for Form 1099-G. Upload it using your authorized IRS access and check the IRS result; buying the Windows license does not itself transmit returns.
